Exclusive Clip: MyLittlePony Tells Origin Story in Holiday Episode

Need a break from the traditional holiday-themed television specials flooding the airwaves? Check out a whole new holiday: Hearth’s Warming Eve, from this weekend’s episode of My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic.

(Spoiler alert: Minor plot points revealed in the text and video.)

In the exclusive clip above from Saturday’s episode, baby dragon Spike introduces the Hearth’s Warming Eve pageant and teases out a little bit of detail about the origin of the ponies’ home, Equestria.

Apparently, there was discord between the pegasi, the unicorns and the Earth ponies in the days before Equestria. Those differences had to be overcome to found the place where they’ve found their magic friendship. The episode promises to be a big hit for pony historians everywhere.
